El Clasico

I am anxiously awaiting the great soccer game that is coming up on March, 22, 2015, in which two of the biggest teams from Spain, Real Madrid and Barcelona, will clash in a promising match! I will honestly say I support Real Madrid but at the same time I respect Barcelona because they are a great team, and can really give teams a nightmare.

 Messi, Neymar, and Suarez will lead this FC Barcelona offense and can prove to be devastating to defenses. The mid-fielders consisting of Xavi, Iniesta, and Ivan Rakitic, who have great passing skills, can help carry this team by maintaining ball possession. The Defense consisting of Gerard Pique, Javier Mascherano, Jordi Alba, and Dani-Alves who are all quick, smart, and strong when it comes to defending, which will certainly help break down the powerful offensive squad of Real Madrid. The Chilean Goalkeeper, Claudio Bravo, has been giving excellent performances to help this FC Barcelona team receive less goals and overall, can be the difference in a close match.

On the other hand you have Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Gareth Bale to lead the Real Madrid Offensive, and can prove to be, “a force to be reckoned with”, as some teams describe it. The quickness, the explosiveness of this offense can certainly give any team a hard time. The mid-fielders consisting of Toni-Kroos, Isco Alcantara, Luca Modric, and James Rodriguez can be very successful in leading in starting counter attacks. The Defense consisting of Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Carvajal or Fabio Coentrao, and Marcelo can be very successful because not only are they great defenders but they can be lethal when it comes to aerial gameplay. Marcelo’s skills, speed, and great crosses can come in handy for that reason.

Overall, this is going to be a very close game in my opinion, and well I wish best of luck to both teams. These arch rivals may respect each other but will compete with all their power when it comes to games like these. So tune in to El Clasico, you won’t regret it, the fans, the atmosphere, football (Soccer) can be very interesting once you understand it and what better players to show you the sport like Leonel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Bale, Suarez, Benzema, etc.
